SCA NH corps member Andrea

Andrea will point to Melrose, Minnesota as to where she began walking on a gravel path back before she can remember. On this path she developed her love for art, music, reading, nature photography,
drawing, antiquing, and music. After growing up on a unique farm,
Andrea set her sights on a road that is heavily traveled. She
graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Global Studies and Environmental Science. She aspires to some day work with nonprofits and/or environmental education programs. Andrea will always be up for canoeing, hiking, and trail running. Andrea's perfect day would be spent in a canoe with her dog Ryly and five nephews.

Andrea is absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to work on the
East coast. Her previous internship with the SCA on the Pacific Crest Trail was an experience she will never, EVER forget. For being on that trail has given her a fever.... and the only way to cure that fever is more trails, more conservation, and more traveling! She's excited to test the waters of Interpretation after education season as well.

Ever so far as her feet can take her, she anticipates this to be
another opportunity to gain perspective and learn about the world
around her. New Hampshire appears to be where her path has led her
for the next ten months, and there's no telling where it will go.

The mission of SCA NH is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of our environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the communities and land of New Hampshire through conservation service projects that enhance and protect natural areas and to provide environmental education to promote the understanding and stewardship of these natural areas. SCA New Hampshire (SCA NH) is one of SCA's oldest residential corp programs. The Interns are housed in historic cabins at Bear Brook State Park where they share the joys and struggles of rustic life while dedicating a year of their lives to performing direct service. These highly motivated 18-25 year olds enhance and protect the state’s natural areas as well as provide extensive environmental education. Benefits to corps members include a living allowance, health insurance, an AmeriCorps Education Award and the development of their own leadership and team-building skills. The overall experience develops a strong ethic of active citizenship and practical conservation techniques. Projects served by the SCA NH corps touch the lives of tens of thousands of people. Since its incepting SCA NH has been partnered with the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation and Volunteer NH (AmeriCorps). Over the years the partnerships have expanded throughout the state to include the White Mountain National Forest, St. Gaudens Historic National Park, conservation commissions, and more. Corps Members spend much of the winter months providing environmental education and service learning programs to elementary and middle school students in Manchester, NH as well as several community nonprofits. During the summer, the members are engaged in conservation service in the form of trail construction and maintenance, campground rehabilitation and historic preservation as well as further environmental education through the NH Park Interpretive program, Discover the Power of the Parks.
